Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Silicom Ltd.:
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Silicom Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Form 6-K. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
F - 3
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
F - 4
Capitalized internally developed software costs
As described in Note 2O to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has internally developed software costs of $2.6 million as of December 31, 2025. Management applied significant judgment in determining which software projects and activities within those projects qualify for capitalization, and the timing of establishing technological feasibility. In addition, management applied judgment in determining when to cease the capitalization of costs.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to capitalized internally developed software costs is a critical audit matter are (i) there was a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity in applying procedures relating to capitalized internally developed software costs due to the significant amount of judgment by management when developing the estimates; (ii) significant audit effort was required in evaluating the significant assumptions relating to the estimates, such as the software projects qualification for capitalization, timing of establishing technological feasibility and time to cease capitalization;
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to capitalized internally developed software costs, including controls over the software projects qualification for capitalization, timing of establishing technological feasibility and time to cease capitalization. These procedures also included, among others, (i) inspection of the products documentation; (ii) testing management’s process for estimating the capitalized internally developed software costs; and (iii) testing management’s identification of accumulated time and costs, both internal and external, associated with internal software development activities and the Company's controls over when amortization started.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - General
Silicom Ltd. is an Israeli corporation engaged in designing, manufacturing, marketing and supporting high performance networking and data infrastructure solutions for a broad range of servers, server based systems and communications devices.
The Company's shares have been traded in the United States on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") since February 1994. Since January 2, 2014 the Company's shares have been traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (prior thereto they were traded on the NASDAQ Global Market).
In these financial statements the terms "Company" or "Silicom" refer to Silicom Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Silicom Connectivity Solutions, Inc. (hereinafter - "Silicom Inc.") and Silicom Denmark A/S (Fiberblaze A/S) (hereinafter – "Silicom Denmark"), whereas the term "subsidiaries" refers to Silicom Inc. and Silicom Denmark.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies, which are applied consistently throughout the periods presented, are as follows:
| A. |
Financial statements in US dollars
|
Substantially all sales of the Company are made outside of Israel (see Note 14A regarding geographical distribution), in US dollars ("dollars"). Most purchases of materials and components, and a significant part of the marketing costs are made or incurred, primarily in dollars. Therefore, the dollar is the currency that represents the principal economic environment in which the Company operates and is thus its functional currency.
Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Balances in non-dollar currencies are translated into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. For non-dollar transactions reflected in the statements of operations, the transaction date exchange rates are used. Depreciation, amortization and other changes derived from non-monetary items are based on historical exchange rates. The resulting transaction gains or losses are recorded as net financial income or expenses.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
| B. |
Basis of presentation
|
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
| C. |
Estimates and assumptions
|
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include credit loss, income taxes, impairment of inventories, impairment of goodwill, capitalized software costs and the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of share-based compensation.
| D. |
Cash and cash equivalents
|
The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of deposit to be cash equivalents.
| E. |
Marketable securities
|
The Company classifies its marketable securities as held-to-maturity as they are debt securities in which the Company has the intent and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities are recorded at amortized cost adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.
Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Such amortization and accretion are included in the "Financial income, net" line item in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company recognizes current expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. The Company uses forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. As of December 2024 and 2025 the allowance for credit losses is immaterial.
| F. |
Trade accounts receivable, net
|
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company presents accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets net of allowance for expected credit losses for potential uncollectible amounts. The allowance represents the current estimate of lifetime expected credit losses over the remaining duration of existing accounts receivable based on current conditions as of the balance sheet date in accordance with ASC 326-20-30-10C and ASC 326-20-30-10D. The estimate is a result of the Company’s ongoing evaluation of collectability, including factors such as past due status, creditworthiness of the specific customer and payment history. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient provided in ASU 2025-05.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, allowance for credit losses amounted to US$ 20

Goodwill and other intangible assets
|
Goodwill reflected the excess of the purchase price of a business acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill has been tested for impairment at least annually.
The Company operates in one operating segment and this segment comprises one reporting unit.
The Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company performs a qualitative assessment and concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired and the impairment test is not required. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, it is then required to perform a quantitative assessment for goodwill impairment.
The Company performed its quantitative goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of its reporting unit with its carrying value. When the reporting unit’s carrying value was determined to be greater than its fair value, an impairment charge was recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeded the reporting unit’s fair value.
The Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss of US$ 25,561 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2023. See note 17.
Intangible assets that are not considered to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful lives in proportion to the economic benefits realized. This accounting policy results in the amortization of such intangible assets in the straight-line method.
The Company recorded an impairment loss of US$ 5,264 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2023, for two capitalization of software development costs projects, that will no longer be utilized by the Company. See note 9.

Impairment of long-lived assets
|
In accordance with Impairment or Disposal of long-lived assets Subsections of FASB ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment – Overall, Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or an asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

Leases
|
The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases with a term shorter than 12 months. This means that for those leases, the Company does not recognize right-of-use ("ROU") assets or lease liabilities but recognizes lease expenses over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.
As of December 31, 2025, all of the Company's leases are operating leases.
On the commencement date, the lease payments shall include variable lease payments that depend on an index (such as the Consumer Price Index), initially measured using the index at the commencement date. The Company does not remeasure the lease liability for changes in future lease payments arising from changes in an index unless the lease liability is remeasured for another reason. Therefore, after initial recognition, such variable lease payments are recognized in profit or loss as they are incurred.
Variable payments that depend on the use of the underlying asset are not included in the lease payments. Such variable payments are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
The Company’s incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest that it would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.
After lease commencement, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement (as long as the discount rate hasn’t been updated as a result of a reassessment event). The Company subsequently measures the ROU asset at the present value of the remaining lease payments, adjusted for the remaining balance of any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term.
The Company’s lease agreements have remaining lease terms of 1 to 6 years. Some of these agreements include options to terminate the leases immediately. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reached agreements with the lessors to terminate two leases, and accordingly the Company derecognized right of use assets and lease liabilities in the amount of US$ 620 thousand.
In August 2024 the company entered into a new lease agreement for its existing executive offices in Kfar Sava. Accordingly, the Company recognized a right of use asset and a lease liability in the amount of US$ 1,651 thousand.
Some of our vehicle lease agreements include rental payments based on the actual usage of the vehicles and other lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The agreements related to leases in Israel are in Israeli Shekel ("ILS") or in ILS linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index or to the US Dollars. The agreements related to leases in the USA are in US Dollars and the agreements related to leases in Denmark are in Danish Krone ("DKK"). The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. See Note 10.

Revenue recognition
|
The Company derives revenues primarily from the sale of networking and data infrastructure solutions.
The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of the promised goods in a contract with a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. Transfer of control occurs once the customer has the contractual right to use the product, generally upon shipment or once delivery and risk of loss are transferred to the customer. The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Each of the Company's contracts includes one type of performance obligation. The Company evaluates each distinct performance obligation within a contract, whether it is satisfied at a point in time or over time. Most of the Company's revenues are recognized at a point in time. Revenue is recognized over time for sales of goods manufactured to unique customer specifications, in which the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date if the customer were to terminate the contract. Revenue recognized over time is measured by the costs incurred to date relative to the estimated total direct costs to fulfill each contract. Incurred costs represent work performed, which corresponds with, and thereby best depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, materials and overhead.
| N. |
Cost of sales
|
Cost of sales consist primarily of production costs of finished goods manufactured by the Company, with assistance of sub-contractors, from (i) components purchased from third parties, and (ii) sub-assemblies manufactured by sub-contractors under the Company’s directions and supervision as well as employee-related expenses and overhead expenses of the Company’s production lines.
| O. |
Research and development costs and capitalized software development costs
|
Software development costs (mainly salary) related to programmable components incorporated into the Company's products, are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, all software costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established. The Company has determined that technological feasibility for its software components of hardware products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved through coding and testing. In addition, management applied judgment in determining when to cease the capitalization of costs.
Amortization begins when the product is available for general release to customers, generally based on the pattern in which the economic benefits will be consumed. The amortization of these costs is included in cost of revenue over the estimated life of the products. Other costs incurred in the research and development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred.

Allowance for product warranty
|
The Company grants assurance-type warranties related to certain products to end-users. The Company estimates its obligation for such warranties to be immaterial on the basis of historical experience.
| Q. |
Treasury shares
|
Treasury shares are recorded at cost and presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity. The Company reissues treasury shares under the Global Share Incentive Plan (2013), upon exercise of options and upon vesting of restricted stock units ("RSU"). Reissuance of treasury shares, based on the Company's policy of first-in, first-out (FIFO), is accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-30 whereby gains are credited to additional paid-in capital and losses are charged to additional paid-in capital to the extent that previous net gains are included therein and otherwise to retained earnings.
| R. |
Income taxes
|
Deferred taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current assets and liabilities and measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, the Company cannot assume that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred income tax assets will be realized. The Company recognizes the effect of uncertain tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Taxes which would apply in the event of disposal of investments in foreign subsidiaries have not been taken into account in computing the deferred taxes, as the Company's intention is to hold, and not to realize the investments.
| S. |
Share-based compensation
|
The Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation -Stock Compensation as follows:
When portions of an award granted to employees vest in increments during the requisite service period (graded-vesting award), the Company’s accounting policy is to recognize compensation cost for the award over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

Share-based compensation (cont’d)
|
Equity awards granted to employees are accounted for using the grant date fair value method. The grant date fair value is determined as follows: for stock options using the Binomial option-pricing model and for restricted stock units (“RSUs”) based on the market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, less an estimate of dividends that will not accrue to RSUs holders prior to vesting. The fair value of share based payment awards is recognized as an expense over the vesting period. The expected average volatility represents a weighted average standard deviation rate for the price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the NASDAQ National Market. For awards with market conditions, compensation expense is not reversed if the market conditions are not satisfied. The Company accounts for forfeitures of share-based awards at the time they occur. If an employee forfeits an award due to not completing the required service period, the Company reverses any previously recognized compensation expense in the same period the forfeiture takes place.
| T. |
Basic earnings (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share
|
Basic earnings (loss) per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding and vested RSU’s (net of treasury shares). Diluted earnings (loss) per ordinary share calculation is similar to basic earnings (loss) per ordinary share except that the weighted average of ordinary shares outstanding is increased to include outstanding potential ordinary shares during the period if dilutive. Potential ordinary shares arise from stock options and unvested RSUs, and the dilutive effect is reflected by the application of the treasury stock method.
The following table summarizes information related to the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per ordinary share for the years indicated.

Comprehensive Income

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, comprehensive income equals net income.

Fair Value Measurements
|
The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, bank deposit, marketable securities, trade and other receivables and trade accounts payable and other payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments, except for marketable securities, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of marketable securities is presented in Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements. Assets held for severance benefits are recorded at their current cash redemption value.
The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:
Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.
| W. |
Concentrations of risks
|
| (1) |
Credit risk
|
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables and assets held for employees’ severance benefits. Cash and cash equivalents balances of the Company, which are subject to credit risk, consist of cash accounts held with major financial institutions. Marketable securities consist of held to maturity marketable securities issued by highly rated corporations. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, the ratings of the securities in the Company's portfolio was at least BBB. Nonetheless, these investments are subject to general credit and counterparty risks (such as that the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations). The Company closely monitors extensions of credit and has never experienced significant credit losses.
| (2) |
Significant customers
|
The Company's top three ultimate customers accounted for approximately 28 % of its revenues in 2025. The Company expects that a small number of customers will continue to account for a significant portion of its revenues for the foreseeable future. See Note 14.

New accounting pronouncements
|
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. The standard requires entities to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. It also requires entities to disclose certain information about income taxes paid and other disclosures related to income and income tax expense from continuing operations. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 for public business entities. The Company adopted this ASU on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2025.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient when estimating credit losses on accounts receivable and contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this practical expedient, an entity is allowed to assume that the current conditions it has applied in determining credit loss allowances for current accounts receivable and current contract assets remain unchanged for the remaining life of those assets. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Effective January 1, 2025, the company early adopted ASU 2025-05 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement: Reporting Comprehensive Income— Expense Disaggregation Disclosures,” The standard requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement, as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 12 - Assets Held and Liability for Employees' Severance Benefits
| A. |
Under Israeli law and labor agreements, Silicom is required to make severance payments to retired or dismissed employees and to employees leaving employment in certain other circumstances.
|
In respect of the liability to the employees, individual insurance policies are purchased and deposits are made with recognized severance pay funds.
The liability for severance pay is calculated on the basis of the latest salary paid to each employee multiplied by the number of years of employment. The liability is covered by the amounts deposited including accumulated income thereon as well as by the unfunded provision.
| B. |
According to Section 14 to the Severance Pay Law ("Section 14") the payment of monthly deposits by a Company into recognized severance and pension funds or insurance policies releases it from any additional severance obligation to the employees that have entered into agreements with the Company pursuant to such Section 14. Commencing July 1, 2008, the Company has entered into agreements with a majority of its employees in order to implement Section 14. Therefore, as of that date, the payment of monthly deposits by the Company into recognized severance and pension funds or insurance policies releases it from any additional severance obligation to those employees that have entered into such agreements and therefore the Company incurs no additional liability since that date with respect to such employees. Amounts accumulated in the pension funds or insurance policies pursuant to Section 14 are not supervised or administrated by the Company and therefore neither such amounts nor the corresponding accrual are reflected in the balance sheet.
|
| C. |
Consequently, the assets held for employees' severance benefits reported on the balance sheet, in respect of deposits for those employees who have signed agreements pursuant to Section 14, represent the redemption value of deposits made through June 30, 2008. The liability for employee severance benefits, with respect to those employees, represents the liability of the Company for employees' severance benefits as of June 30, 2008.
|
As a result of the implementation of Section 14, as described above, the liability with respect to those employees is calculated on the basis of number of years of employment as of June 30, 2008, multiplied by the latest salary paid. The liability is covered by the amounts deposited, including accumulated income thereon, as well as by the unfunded provision. Such liability will be removed, either upon termination of employment or retirement.
| D. |
Expenses recorded with respect to employees' severance payments for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, mainly attributed to Section 14, were US$

Note 16 - Taxes on Income
| A. |
Measurement of results for tax purposes under the Israeli Income Tax Regulations (Rules for Maintaining Accounting Records of Foreign Invested Companies and Certain Partnerships and Determining Their Taxable Income) - 1986
|
As a "foreign invested Company" (as defined in the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments-1959), the taxable income or loss and the tax basis of assets and liabilities of the Company’s Israeli operations are denominated in US Dollars.
| B. |
Corporate tax rate in Israel
|
The regular corporate tax rate applied to taxable income of Israeli companies is 23 % (as from 2018 onwards).
| C. |
Tax benefits under the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (hereinafter - the "Law")
|
| 1. |
On December 29, 2010, the Knesset approved the Economic Policy Law for 2011-2012, which includes an amendment to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments – 1959 (hereinafter – "the Amendment to the Law"). The Amendment to the Law is effective from January 1, 2011, and its provisions will apply to preferred income derived or accrued in 2011 and thereafter by a Preferred Company, per the definition of these terms in the Amendment to the Law.
|
Companies can choose to not be included in the scope of the Amendment to the Law and to stay in the scope of the law before its amendment until the end of the benefits period.
Under the Amendment to the Law, upon an irrevocable election made by a Company, a uniform corporate tax rate will apply to all preferred income of such Company. The Company elected to apply the uniform corporate tax rate as of 2014. From 2017 onwards, the uniform tax rate is to be 7.5 % in areas in Israel designated as Development Zone A and 16 % elsewhere in Israel. The Company has two facilities in Israel of which one of them is located in Development Zone A. The profits of these Preferred Companies will be freely distributable as dividends, subject to a withholding tax of 20 % (or a lower rate under an applicable tax treaty).
Should the Company derive income from sources other than the Preferred Company, such income will be taxable at the regular corporate tax rates for the applicable year.

Tax benefits under the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (hereinafter - the "Law") (cont'd)
|
|
On December 29, 2016, the Israeli Parliament (the "Knesset") enacted the "Economic Efficiency Law (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the Years 2017 and 2018) – 2016" in which the Law was also amended (hereinafter: “the Amendment”). The Amendment added new tax benefit tracks for a “preferred technological enterprise” and a “special preferred technological enterprise” which award reduced tax rates to a technological industrial enterprise for the purpose of encouraging activity relating to the development of qualifying intangible assets.
The benefits will be awarded to a “preferred Company” that has a “preferred technological enterprise” or a “special preferred technological enterprise” with respect to taxable “preferred technological income” per its definition in the Law.
Preferred technological income that meets the conditions required in the law, will be subject to a reduced corporate tax rate of 12 %, and if the preferred technological enterprise is located in "Development Area A" in Israel - to a reduced tax rate of 7.5 %. A Company that owns a special preferred technological enterprise will be subject to a reduced corporate tax rate of 6 % regardless of the development area in which the enterprise is located. The Amendment is effective as from January 1, 2017.
On June 14, 2017, the Knesset Finance Committee approved "Encouragement of Capital Investment Regulations (Preferred Technological Income and Capital Gain of Technological Enterprise) – 2017" (hereinafter: “the Regulations”), which provides rules for applying the “preferred technological enterprise” and “special preferred technological enterprise” tax benefit tracks, including the Nexus formula that provides the mechanism for allocating the technological income eligible for the benefits.
Should the Company derive income from sources other than the “preferred technological enterprise”, such income will be taxable at the "Preferred Company" tax rate (for manufacturing activity in Israel) or regular corporate tax rates for the applicable year.
As a result of the aforesaid legislation, starting 2021 the Company implement the “preferred technological enterprise” tax benefit track.

In the event of distribution by the Company of dividends out of its retained earnings that were generated prior to the 2014 tax year and were tax exempt under the "Approved Enterprise" or "Benefited Enterprise" status, the Company would be subjected to a maximum of
|
Out of the Company’s retained earnings as of December 31, 2025, approximately US$ 54,729 thousand are tax-exempt, under our previous "Approved Enterprise" and "Benefited Enterprise" status. If such tax-exempt income is distributed as a dividend (including a liquidation dividend), it would be taxed at the regular corporate tax rate applicable to such profits (subject to a maximum rate of 25 %) and an income tax liability of up to approximately US$ 11,968 thousand would be incurred as of December 31, 2025. The Company intends to reinvest its tax-exempt income. Accordingly, no deferred tax liability has been recognized for income attributable to the Company’s previous "Approved Enterprise" or "Benefited Enterprise" status. If the Company was to declare a dividend from its tax-exempt income, an income tax expense would be recognized in the period a dividend is declared.
On November 15, 2021, the Israeli Parliament released its 2021-2022 Budget Law (“2021 Budget Law”). The 2021 Budget Law introduces a new dividend ordering rule that apportions every dividend between previously tax-exempt and previously taxed income. Consequently, distributions (including deemed distributions as per Section 51(h)/51B of the Investment Law) may entail additional corporate tax liability to the distributing Company. Effective August 15, 2021, dividend distributions will be treated as if made on a pro-rata basis from all types of earnings, including Exempt Profits. If such tax-exempt income is distributed, it would be taxed at the reduced corporate tax rate applicable to such income.

The realization of tax benefits of net deferred tax assets is dependent upon future levels of taxable income, of an appropriate character, in the periods the items are expected to be deductible or taxable. Based on the available objective evidence during the year ended December 31, 2025, we cannot assume that it is more likely than not that the tax benefits relating to carry forward losses and deductible temporary differences for the Israeli jurisdiction will be realized. Accordingly, we have maintained a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets and intend to maintain the applicable valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support a reversal of, or decrease in, the valuation allowance.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
|
The accounting literature clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The standards prescribe a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also requires significant judgment in determining what constitutes an individual tax position as well as assessing the outcome of each tax position.
During 2023, 2024 and 2025 the Company and its subsidiaries did not have any significant unrecognized tax benefits and thus, no related interest and penalties were accrued.
In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries do not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months.

Note 17 - Goodwill
The Company operates as one reporting unit. Goodwill assigned to the Company's reporting unit is tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there are triggering events that create a situation where goodwill is more likely than not impaired.
As of December 31, 2023, the annual impairment test indicated that the carrying amount of the Company's reporting unit exceeded the Company's market capitalization, which was primarily due to the significant decline in the Company's stock price during the fourth quarter of 2023. The assessment of goodwill impairment is based on the market capitalization of the Company, using quoted market prices of the Company’s stock.
Consequently, in the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company deemed its entire goodwill of US$ 25,561 thousand impaired and recorded an impairment charge of US$ 25,561 thousand.
Note 18 - Subsequent Events
In January 2026, the Company’s compensation committee and board of directors, has approved the grant of a total of 232,934 RSUs under the Global Share Incentive Plan (2013) (as extended on October 26, 2023), of which RSUs granted to directors and CEO are subject to the approval of the Annual General Meeting, which is currently scheduled to convene no later than June 2026, as prescribed under the Israeli Companies Law, 1999 and the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Association.

Sales in 2025 Increased by 6.6% to US$ 61,926 thousand compared to US$ 58,114 thousand in 2024, reflecting mainly resilient core business demand and the initial ramp-up of a few
of the design wins achieved during 2025.
Sales in 2024 decreased by 53.2% to US$ 58,114 thousand compared to US$ 124,131 thousand in 2023, reflecting mainly the -continued negative impact of the excess inventories built
by many of our customers in previous years - whether in reaction to supply chain disruptions only or in combination with slower-than-expected sales of their new products and services.
Gross profit in 2025 was US$ 18,926 thousand compared to US$ 16,598 thousand in 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of sales in 2025 was 30.6%, compared to 28.6% in 2024. The increase in the gross
profit percentage in 2025 compared to 2024 was mainly attributed to changes in the mix of products that we sold in 2025, on which our gross profit is largely dependent. Gross profit was also affected by write-downs of inventory made with respect
to any slow moving or obsolete inventory we can no longer use. Inventory write-downs as a percentage of sales in 2025 decreased to 4.5%, compared to 6.3% in 2024.
Gross profit in 2024 was US$ 16,598 thousand compared to US$ 28,689 thousand in 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of sales in 2024 was 28.6%, compared to 23.1% in 2023. The
change in the gross profit percentage in 2024 compared to 2023, when neutralizing the one-time effect of impairment of intangible assets as well as the related write-down of inventory in 2023, was mainly attributed to the mix of products that we
sold in 2024, on which our gross profit is largely dependent. Gross profit was also affected by, among other factors, write-downs of inventory made with respect to any slow moving or obsolete inventory we can no longer use. The inventory
write-downs as a percentage of sales in 2024 increased to 6.3%, compared to 5.2% (of which 3.5% is attributed to a one-time write-down of inventory related to an impairment of intangible assets) in 2023.
Research and development expenses in 2025 increased by 2.8% to US$ 20,054 thousand compared to US$ 19,508 thousand in 2024. This increase was mainly
attributed to an increase of approximately US$ 1,621 thousand in payroll and related expenses resulting from the depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the New Israeli Shekel and the Danish Krone (since a significant portion of our research and
development payroll expenses are incurred in New Israeli Shekels and Danish Krone), offset by (i) a decrease in the use of subcontracted work of approximately US$ 520 thousand, (ii) a decrease in depreciation expenses of approximately US$ 465
thousand and (iii) a decrease in various research and development costs accumulating to approximately US$ 90 thousand.
Research and development expenses in 2024 decreased by 5.5% to US$ 19,508 thousand compared to US$ 20,638 thousand in 2023. This decrease was mainly attributed to (i) a decrease
in payroll and related expenses due to a reduction in the number of employees which amounted to approximately US$ 925 thousand, (ii) a strengthening of the US Dollar against the New Israeli Shekel and the Danish Krone (since a significant portion
of our research and development expenses are incurred in New Israeli Shekels and Danish Krone), which reduced expenses by approximately US$ 209 thousand, (iii) a decrease in the use of subcontracted work of approximately US$ 444 thousand, as well
as a decrease in various research and development costs of approximately US$ 276 thousand, offset by a decrease of capitalization of internal software development costs of approximately US$ 365 thousand in 2024, compared to US$ 1,092 thousand in
2023.
Sales and marketing expenses in 2025 increased by 8.5% to US$ 6,528 thousand compared to US$ 6,014 thousand in 2024. This increase was mainly attributed to
an increase of approximately US$ 379 thousand in payroll and related expenses resulting from the depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the New Israeli Shekel and the Danish Krone (since a significant portion of our sales and marketing payroll
expenses are incurred in New Israeli Shekels and Danish Krone), as well as an increase of approximately US$ 135 thousand, attributed to various sales and marketing costs.
Sales and marketing expenses in 2024 decreased by 13.3% to US$ 6,014 thousand compared to US$ 6,935 thousand in 2023. This decrease was mainly attributed to a decrease in payroll
and related expenses due to a reduction in the number of employees of approximately US$ 651 thousand, as well as a decrease of approximately US$ 270 thousand, attributed to various sales and marketing costs.
General and administrative expenses in 2025 increased by 5.8% to US$ 4,605 thousand compared to US$ 4,354 thousand in 2024. This increase was mainly attributed to an increase of approximately US$ 357 thousand in payroll and related expenses resulting from the depreciation of the
U.S. Dollar against the New Israeli Shekel and the Danish Krone (since a significant portion of our general and administrative payroll expenses are incurred in New Israeli Shekels and Danish Krone), offset by a decrease of approximately US$ 96
in share-based compensation expenses.
General and administrative expenses in 2024 increased by 3% to US$ 4,354 thousand compared to US$ 4,229 thousand in 2023. This increase was mainly attributed to various general
and administrative costs of approximately US$ 190 thousand, offset by a strengthening of the US Dollar against the New Israeli Shekel and the Danish Krone (since a significant portion of our research and development expenses are incurred in New
Israeli Shekels and Danish Krone), which reduced expenses by approximately US$ 65 thousand.
Financial income, net in 2025 amounted to US$ 1,653 thousand compared to financial income, net of US$ 1,961 thousand in 2024. The change is mainly attributed
to a depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the New Israeli Shekel and the Danish Krone, which created net financial expenses in U.S. Dollars from exchange rate differences (a portion of our balance sheet assets and obligations are denominated in
New Israeli Shekels as well as Danish Kroner) of US$ 918 thousand in 2025 compared to financial expenses from exchange rate differences of US$ 625 thousand in 2024.
Financial income, net in 2024 amounted to US$ 1,961 thousand compared to financial income, net in 2023 of US$ 1,372 thousand. The change is mainly attributed to an increase in
income from investment in marketable securities and bank deposits, which was attributed to an increase in funds available for investment, and which amounted to US$ 2,597 thousand in 2024 compared to US$ 1,254 thousand in 2023, offset by financial
expense in US Dollars from exchange rate differences (a portion of our balance sheet assets and obligations are denominated in New Israeli Shekels as well as Danish Krone) of US$ 625 thousand in 2024 compared to financial income of US$ 163
thousand in 2023.
In 2025 we recorded current income tax expenses of US$ 772 thousand and deferred income tax expenses of US$ 82 thousand compared to current income tax expenses of US$ 692
thousand and deferred income tax benefit of US$ 2,345 thousand in 2024. The increase in our current income tax expenses was mainly attributed to an increase in our taxable income. The change in the deferred income taxes was mainly attributed to
valuation allowance in relation to loss carry forwards in the amount of US$ 2,918 thousand in 2024, compared to an increase in loss carry forwards in the amount of US$ 896 thousand in 2025 .
In 2024 we recorded current income tax expenses of US$ 692 thousand and deferred income tax expenses of US$ 2,345 thousand compared to current income tax expenses of US$ 1,122
thousand and deferred income tax benefit of US$ 1,885 thousand in 2023. The decrease in our current income tax expenses was mainly attributed to a decrease in our income and the resulting taxable income. The change in the deferred income taxes was
mainly attributed to a deferred income tax benefit relating to tax loss carryforwards, which amounted to US$ 1,064 thousand in 2024 compared to deferred income tax benefit which amounted to US$ 306 thousand in 2023, offset by: (i) a valuation
allowance which amounted to US$ 2,918 thousand compared to US$ 0 in 2023, (ii) deferred income tax expenses related to acquired goodwill, which amounted to US$ 327 thousand in 2024 compared to deferred income tax benefit in the amount of US$ 1,893
thousand in 2023. In addition, in 2024 we recorded an income tax benefit relating to prior years in the amount of US$ 646 thousand, compared to an income tax benefit relating to prior years in the amount of US$ 126 thousand in 2023.
In 2025 we recorded net loss of US$ 11,479 thousand compared to net loss of US$ 13,708 thousand in 2024. The decrease in net loss was
mainly attributed to a decrease in our operating loss as well as to a decrease in our tax expenses.
In 2024 we recorded net loss of US$ 13,708 thousand compared to net loss of US$ 26,413 thousand in 2023. The loss in 2024 was mainly attributed to a decrease in our activity.

Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuations on Results of Operations, Liabilities and Assets
|
Since the majority of our revenues are denominated and paid in U.S. Dollars, we believe that inflation in Israel and in Denmark and fluctuations in the U.S. dollar exchange rates
do not have any material effect on our revenue. Inflation in Israel or Denmark and the Israeli and Danish currency as well as U.S. dollar exchange rate fluctuations, may however, have an effect on our expenses and, as a result, on our net
income/loss. The cost of our Israeli and Danish operations, as expressed in U.S. Dollars, is influenced by the extent to which any change in the rates of inflation in Israel or Denmark are not offset (or are offset on a lagging basis) by a change
in valuation of the NIS or DKK in relation to the U.S. dollar.
We do not presently engage in any hedging or other transactions intended to manage the risks relating to foreign currency exchange rate or interest rate fluctuations. However, we
may in the future undertake such transactions, if management determines that it is necessary to offset such risks.
B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2025, we had working capital of US$ 85,862 thousand and our current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was 4.15. Cash and cash
equivalents as of December 31, 2025 decreased by US$ 16,127 thousand to US$ 35,156 thousand, compared to US$ 51,283 thousand as of December 31, 2024. Short-term bank deposits increased by US$ 6,000 thousand to US$ 6,000 as of December 31, 2025,
compared to US$ 0 as of December 31, 2024. Short-term marketable securities decreased by US$ 13,902 thousand to US$ 6,958 thousand, compared to US$ 20,860 thousand as of December 31, 2024, and long-term marketable securities increased by US$ 18,679
thousand to US$ 25,518 thousand, compared to US$ 6,839 thousand as of December 31, 2024. The net decrease of US$ 5,350 thousand in these four balance sheet items in 2025 was mainly attributed to the following factors: (i) negative cash used in
operating activities in the amount of US$ 2,160 thousand, (ii) payments in relation to purchase of property, plant and equipment which amounted to US$ 1,189 thousand, and (iii) purchase of treasury shares in the amount of approximately US$ 1,659
thousand.
Trade receivables decreased to US$ 9,194 thousand as of December 31, 2025, compared to US$ 11,748 thousand as of December 31, 2024. This decrease was mainly
attributed to shorter customer payment cycles, as averaged out. Other receivables decreased to US$ 3,155 thousand as of December 31, 2025, compared to US$ 4,839 thousand as of December 31, 2024.
Trade payables increased to US$ 11,116 thousand as of December 31, 2025, compared to US$ 6,477 thousand as of December 31, 2024. This increase was mainly
attributed to the increase in our purchasing of inventory. Other payables and accrued liabilities increased to US$ 14,116 thousand as of December 31, 2025, compared to US$ 6,945 thousand as of December 31, 2024. This increase was mainly attributed
to an increase in our accrued expenses as well as to an increase in our Advances from customers.
Inventories increased to US$ 52,650 thousand as of December 31, 2025, compared to US$ 41,060 thousand as of December 31, 2024. This increase was mainly attributed to an increase
in our inventory level needed to support our customers' orders.
Cash used in operating activities in 2025 amounted to US$ 2,160 thousand compared to cash provided by operating activities in the amount of US$ 18,288 thousand in 2024. The cash
used in operating activities was mainly attributed to an increase in our inventory, offset by an increase in our trade accounts payable and other accounts payable.
Capital expenditures on property and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2025 were US$ 1,334 thousand, compared to US$ 1,395 thousand as of December 31, 2024.
We have cash and cash equivalents that we believe are sufficient for our present requirements. Furthermore, our cash resources are sufficient to fund our operating needs for at
least the next twelve months.
